Mute City’s music skips from microhouse to drone to IDM, from lush heaven-bound escalator soundtracks to gritty lo-fi distorted back-alley trashfights. Bandcamp's New and Notable feature described his latest full-length, Total Resignation, as “bringing a songwriter’s ear to intricate electronic music... crystalline melodies and crisp drum programming."
